Json News in a Partial View

-
News on the front page is always nice
Quick way to drop your news into a Partial view so that you can use it anywhere

Create your Partial View Just make it empty


Add a Div for your News

<div id="news"></div>

Add script  which loads the news - sidenote - I a have learned that you can not use .append lines when adding conditional data because it inherently closes your tag for you.  So I am using an array instead and then appending to the news div at the very end.


<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
     
            $('#news').html("");
            $('#L1').removeClass("hidden");
            var ROOT = '@Url.Content("~/")';
            if (ROOT == '/') { ROOT = '' };
            $.getJSON(ROOT + '/home/SiteNews/', function (data) {
                   if (data != null) {
                    $('#news').html('<h3>CURRENT NEWS</h3><hr />');
                }
                $.each(data, function (i, news) {
                    var array = [];//
                    var m = moment();
                    array.push("<b>" + Date(data[i].ContributedDate) + "</b><br /><hr />" + data[i].ArticleText + "<br />");
                  if (data[i].ArticleUrl != null) {
                      array.push("<a href=" + data[i].ArticleUrl + " target=_new>More Info...</a>");
                  }
                  $('#news').append("<div class='col-sm-3 newsbox'>" + array.join('') + "</div>");
                    //Posted By:  " + data[i].ContributedBy + "
                });
           
            })
        })
</script>

I am returning my news from a JsonResult like this:

 public JsonResult SiteNews()
        {
            var programs = (from s in db.SiteNews
                            where s.featured==true
                            select s);

            return Json(programs, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }

Sorting Ascending and Descending

Toggling the direction of your datagrid sort is easy using a session to remember which direction you sorted last.   You will want to declare an empty string in the top of your page       Dim SortField As String Then on your sort command add this logic - Example of entire command Private Sub dgTaskExceptions_SortCommand( ByVal source As Object , ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridSortCommandEventArgs) Handles dgTaskExceptions.SortCommand     SortField = e.SortExpression If Session( "toggle" ) = True Then SortField += " DESC" Session( "toggle" ) = False Else SortField += " Asc" Session( "toggle" ) = True End If Dim orderstring As String = SortField 'REBIND dgTaskExceptions.DataSource = POTracking_Data.tracking.getSampleTasks(orderstring) dgTaskExceptions.DataBind() End Sub   In my datalayer I add this logic to my query and pass in an OPTIONAL value Dim orderbyString As String = String .Empt
